battery Hi Jeff,I don’t know if you saw the photo. No cutting involved.The top
is removed with roughly 14 fasteners. No tools or prying was involved in the
removal of the top cover.jayOn Jun 16, 2021, at 12:00 AM, Jeff Clearwater

batteries are openable - so it's most likely that when he decided to open it he
cut into it and shorted the leads.As for recycling - first is health safety!
I'd suggest he contact the manufacturer and get specific instructions for
safing the mess. Will Prowess of DIY Solar Youtube channel had some leaky
cells and the manufacturer sent specific instructions to contain and ship back
the unit. You could contact him and he might know but the manufacturer might
know better for that specific model.Hope that helps!Jeff C.Village Power
Designfrenergy June 15, 2021 at 9:39 PMVery few details...What does it mean "he
opened it up" I would even know how to do that with the L-ions I've been
around, seems like its something a manufacturer should be doing. Temperature?
charge rate? recent usage history? Age? Was it disconnected? Did contacts touch
a conductor?........ You can probably get water to explode if you
abuse it just right.BillFeather River Solar Electric Bill Battagin, Owner4291

PMA fellow installer sent me this just now. The battery wasn’t working, 5v. He
opened it up and it exploded when he opened it. The lid hit the roof.
Fortunately no one was injured. Anyone know what to do with this? IE
recycling?And just another example of non explosive lithium batteries
